HDC Skiing/Snowboarding Trip to Winsport 

ALL students who have submitted ski/snowboard trip forms have secured a spot on the field trip on THURSDAY Jan 30th (please note: the parent letter said Wednesday in error). 

The $60.00 fee has been applied to your account if you submitted your paperwork. If you do not see a fee on the account, but think you handed in forms, please contact me via email by the end of the day, or call the main office so we can ensure your child has a spot on the trip. 

Thank you for your support and interest in our PE activity! 

PS. We still need more parent volunteers for this trip, please consider joining us if you are able. (Volunteers will help with gear and supervising kids in the chalet in the morning and at the end of the trip.

Mr. Parent Update

We look forward to Mr. Parent coming back in January!  A huge thank you to Mr. O'Shaughnessy for spending the week with us at the school, it was awesome to have him!

Happy Holidays to our HDC Community

We have had an really incredible year so far at HDC.  As we approach a new year, we reflect on all of the amazing things that have happened. From the Terry Fox run, to the band concert, field trips to Word Fest, Stampede grounds, and band camp, we've had a lot of fun while learning.  The students and staff have shown what an incredible place HDC is, and we have so many other exciting activities to look forward to.  We are thankful for our dedicated staff, our wonderful students, and our supportive extended community in all of you. We wish you the happiest of holidays and a peaceful New Year surrounded by family and friends.  Thank you all for everything. 

Sincerely, 

Jim & Brandie
